The One Time Backup feature lets you quickly define and run a backup that creates an independent recovery point. This feature is useful when you need to back up your computer or a particular drive quickly before a significant event. For example, you can run a one-time backup before you install new software. Or, you can run it when you learn about a new computer security threat. The backup definition is not saved for future use.

STEP 2		Run a One Time Backup in Norton Ghost 12.0
		1 Start Norton Ghost 12.0. 2 In the left pane, click Tasks. 3 In the right pane, click One Time Backup. 4 In the One Time Backup Wizard panel, click Next. 5 In the Drives panel, click a single drive to select it, or hold down the Ctrl key and click multiple drives. Note If you do not see a drive that you expected to see, check Show Hidden Drives. 6 Click Next. 7 In the Backup Destination panel, click Browse, and then navigate to the drive and folder where the backup data will be stored. 8 Click Next. 9 Select a level of compression for the copies of the recovery points.   Compression level Description None Use this option if storage space is not an issue. However, if the backup is being saved to a busy network drive, high compression may be faster than no compression because there is less data to write across the network. Standard (recommended) This option uses low compression for a 40 percent average data compression ratio on recovery points. This setting is the default. Medium This option uses medium compression for a 45 percent average data compression ratio on recovery points. High This option uses high compression for a 50 percent average data compression ratio on recovery points. This setting is usually the slowest method. When a high compression recovery point is created, CPU usage might be higher than normal. Other processes on the computer might also be slower. To compensate, you can adjust the operation speed of Norton Save and Restore. This might improve the performance of other resource-intensive applications that you are running at the same time.   10 To verify the recovery point after creation, check Verify the recovery point after creation. 11 To enable the Google Desktop search engine support, check Enable search engine support for Google Desktop and Backup Exec Retrieve. 12 Clicked Advanced. The following table describes the available options when you save a One Time Backup data:   Option Description Divide into smaller files to simplify archiving You can split the recovery point into smaller files and specify the maximum size (in MB) for each file. For example, if you plan to copy a recovery point to ZIP disks from your backup destination, specify a file size of 100 MB or less, according to the size of each ZIP disk. Disable SmartSector Copying SmartSector technology speeds up the copying process by only copying the hard-disk sectors that contain data. However, in some cases, you might want to copy all sectors in their original layout, whether or not they contain data. This option lets you copy used and unused hard-disk sectors. This option increases processing time and usually results in a larger recovery point. Ignore bad sectors during copy This option lets you run a backup even if there are bad sectors on the hard disk. Although most drives do not have bad sectors, the potential for problems increases during the lifetime of the hard disk. Use password This option sets a password on the recovery point when it is created. Passwords can include standard characters, not extended characters or symbols. (Use characters with an ASCII value of 128 or lower.) A user must type this password before restoring a backup or viewing the contents of the recovery point. Use AES encryption You can encrypt your recovery point data to add another level of protection to your recovery points. You can choose from the following encryption levels: Low (8+ character password) Medium (16+ character password) High (32+ character password) After selecting the Advanced options, click OK. 13 Click Next. 14 In the Completing the One Time Backup Wizard panel, review the options and click Finish.
